Abstract

Communication has an important role for spreading messages and ideas through various mediums. This research explains the important role of new media in community engagement activities and the dissemination of new information, innovations and technologies that have been done in 2017, especially for the graphic design via the internet on Pico Hydros information technology in Batu Roto village, Bengkulu province, Indonesia. Community involvement itself is based on a special multidisciplinary perspective of communication and engineering. Pico Hydro is commonly used worldwide to generate electricity in rural areas, making it very useful for rural electrification. We conduct research to meet the needs of our plans in community engagement and use the theory of communication development to support the outcomes of this program. Communication development theory has a focus on dissemination of innovation. This research method is desk research of new media. This research argues that the application of Pico Hydro technology will have more impact on Batu Roto village community when combined with the method of social communication science development through digital media. The information contained in the infografic is expected to spread the idea to train the community in applying Pico Hydro technology for many homes in Batu Roto village so that it can solve the problem of electricity shortage in Bengkulu Province.

Bahasa Abstract

Komunikasi memiliki peran penting untuk menyebarkan pesan dan ide melalui berbagai media. Penelitian ini menjelaskan tentang pentingnya peran new media dalam kegiatan community engagement dan penyebaran informasi, inovasi dan teknologi baru yang telah dilakukan pada tahun 2017, khususnya untuk desain grafis melalui internet pada teknologi informasi Pico Hydro di Desa Batu Roto, Provinsi Bengkulu. , Indonesia. Keterlibatan komunitas itu sendiri didasarkan pada perspektif multidisiplin khusus komunikasi dan teknik. Pico Hydro umumnya digunakan di seluruh dunia untuk menghasilkan listrik di daerah pedesaan, sehingga sangat berguna untuk elektrifikasi pedesaan. Kami melakukan penelitian untuk memenuhi kebutuhan rencana kami dalam keterlibatan masyarakat dan menggunakan teori pengembangan komunikasi untuk mendukung hasil dari program ini. Teori perkembangan komunikasi memiliki fokus pada diseminasi inovasi. Metode penelitian ini adalah penelitian pustaka media baru. Penelitian ini berpendapat bahwa penerapan teknologi Pico Hydro akan lebih berdampak pada masyarakat desa Batu Roto bila dipadukan dengan metode pengembangan ilmu komunikasi sosial melalui media digital. Informasi yang terdapat dalam infografik tersebut diharapkan dapat menyebarkan ide untuk melatih masyarakat dalam mengaplikasikan teknologi Pico Hydro pada banyak rumah di Desa Batu Roto sehingga dapat mengatasi masalah kekurangan listrik di Provinsi Bengkulu.
